The Los Angeles Dodgers entered the 2025 World Series having allowed just five combined runs in their previous five postseason games. The Toronto Blue Jays scored nearly double that figure in a single inning of the Fall Classic opener.
The American League’s top-seeded Blue Jays turned a tie game into a rout with a nine-run six inning as they took Game 1 from the reigning champion Dodgers 11-4 in Toronto on Friday.
The nine runs were the third-most ever scored in a single inning of a World Series game. And the big inning was highlighted by a historic swing as Addison Barger became the first player to ever hit a pinch-hit grand slam in the Fall Classic.
Barger’s grand slam, which was soon followed by a two-run homer from Alejandro Kirk, blew the game open as Toronto won a World Series contest for the first time since the franchise’s 1993 championship campaign.
Meanwhile, the Dodgers — who are looking to become the first repeat champion in over two decades — now face a series deficit for the first time this postseason. Los Angeles had lost just one playoff game prior to the World Series.
